Chapter 61

Xi Siyan left swiftly and quietly.

It was not until the beginning of the senior year that the students gradually accepted the fact that he had gone abroad. They also complained that the class monitor was leaving but they were not even given the opportunity to hold a farewell ceremony. Qi Lin and his friends knew about it earlier, but they also complained a lot because they could not contact Xi Siyan.

"What's going on now?" The senior high school building had been renovated during the summer vacation. The school had just started, so the tension was not that strong. After class, a group of people were chasing each other in the corridor, while Qi Lin and Jiang Xu blocked Chen Mo who was coming back from the toilet and asked, "Brother Mo, aren't you two in a relationship? Did he contact you?"

Chen Mo stopped and shook off the water on his hands: "Let's split it."

“Divided…divided?!!”

“What the hell!!”

"Old Xi actually dumped you and went abroad? The first thing you did when you got ashore was to kill the person you loved? I didn't realize he was such a scumbag."

Jiang Xu, who had just shouted loudly, was slapped on the back of the head by Qi Lin.

Because of his family connections, he knew a little about the Xi family's internal affairs, and said, "Old Xi went out because of family matters. And can you keep your voice down? You wish the whole world knew that Chen Mo was dumped, right?"

Chen Mo was amused by this group of people.

Xi Siyan had asked them not to tell anyone about it, but they kept their mouths shut to others, even though they were very loud at home.

"You can still smile?" Jiang Xu looked at him and whispered, "Brother Mo, if you are really sad, you really don't have to force a smile."

Chen Mo glanced over and said, "Why? It can only be him who dumps me, not me who dumps him?"

"You..." Several people were confused: "Did you dump Lao Xi?"

Chen Mo sighed: "Why do you have to hold on to this? No, none of them, let's separate peacefully."

"Why?" This time it was Qi Lin who asked. Perhaps he had a special experience during the summer vacation. On the surface, he looked the same as before, but in fact, he was much quieter. He frowned and asked Chen Mo, "Is it not possible to not break up? As long as you like each other enough, nothing can be a reason."

Bai Cheng rubbed his arms in the narration, and uttered a disgusted sound, complaining: "Qi Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy to make such a love declaration all of a sudden?"

Chen Mo paused for two seconds, "Then just consider it as not liking you enough."

When he was thinking about whether to agree to give it a try with Xi Siyan, he felt that he seemed a bit of a scumbag for being so indecisive.

Now I don’t care at all about what others think of me.

After all, what he said about hating to have expectations and obsessions about anyone or anything was not false.

In his previous life, he had expected and been stubborn. He didn't like the feeling of handing his fate and emotions over to someone else. Even if that person was Xi Siyan, he didn't intend to do that.

Chen Mo could even imagine that when they were separated by an ocean, with a completely reversed time difference and a different environment and circle, and they overcame all obstacles and persevered to the end, this relationship seemed to be particularly difficult and precious.

But that was so embarrassing.

This was obviously not a good time, Xi Jianxing had an accident this year, when they could only use their bodies to resist the flood. Not only for himself, but also for Xi Siyan who was now at an important turning point, it was like a chain on his body.

So, that means I don’t like it enough.

Chen Mo told everyone who knew about their relationship this, and he accepted it calmly. Because he didn't like her enough, he didn't insist, and because the feelings were shallow, it could end easily.

Qi Lin and the others looked at each other.

Since then, I have never asked Chen Mo about this matter again.

Chen Mo followed his own path step by step, the same as before, but also different from before.

He was still the school bully who kept his mug in hand every day, the dark horse who topped the grade, and in the winter of the first half of his senior year, he was fully armed with knee pads, gloves and masks. He still loved to argue with Lao Gou, and when he met someone who made him unhappy, he would look cold and not bother to take action, but would scare the person into apologizing on his own initiative.

But he never really touched cigarettes again.

No matter how bad his mood was or how much pressure he was under in his senior year of high school, he quit without anyone reminding him.

In the classroom, the seat next to him has always been kept. The seats in the class have been changed many times, but Chen Mo has never moved.

Xue Ping became the squad leader, and Chen Mo would occasionally complain about his rigid style. At these times, others would often miss the time when Xi Siyan was still around, and Chen Mo would also agree with him.

He still lived in the house outside the school. The things that Xi Siyan had originally placed in the next room were picked up by the Xi family a month after he went abroad. Occasionally, when Qi Lin and his friends were driven crazy by various examination papers and tests, they would meet up at Chen Mo's house to get drunk.

The next door became Lao Gou's permanent residence, but it was occasionally occupied by other people.

Are Xi Siyan and Chen Mo no longer in contact with each other? Lao Gou asked him quietly in private, looking cautious and fearful of offending him.

The answer is of course no.

Who would be so naive.

During the first month that Xi Siyan was away, he was probably busy dealing with his second uncle's affairs, and there was indeed no news from him.

But after that we were able to contact each other as usual.

It’s just that we are halfway across the world, and our schedules are completely reversed, so it’s difficult to be in sync.

Halfway through the senior year of high school, Chen Mo had a video call with him.

That day was Chen Mo’s eighteenth birthday.

After chatting about each other's recent situation, Chen Mo learned that he had entered a world-renowned university. Not only did he have to deal with a variety of heavy academic studies and projects, but the Xi family's business abroad was also in a new stage of expansion.

Xi Siyan in the video has short hair. He is sitting on a black leather sofa and wearing a black shirt.

Unlike his past habit of always wearing white shirts, the black shirt seemed to have made his features sharper and his eyes more stern in just half a year, a change that could be seen through the screen.

He said, "Happy birthday."

He also said: "I originally planned to go back to the country, but something happened to me and I couldn't celebrate your birthday."

Chen Mo pointed to the half-cut cake in front of him and smiled, "It's okay not to celebrate this birthday. They are too noisy. It's giving me a headache."

The mess left over from the celebration has yet to be cleaned up.

Chen Mo looked at Xi Siyan's bloodshot eyes, leaned over on the sofa, picked up the spoon and took a bite. He didn't know where Lao Gou ordered it from, but the taste changed quickly and it had an inexplicable astringency.

Later, Xi Siyan fell asleep on the sofa with the video on.

Half an hour later, Chen Mo hung up and sent him a message.

"Brother Yan, you should take a rest."

After that, their contact became less and less.

Aside from holiday greetings, there is rarely time for small talk.

Chen Mo was busy studying for the college entrance examination. At the same time, he continued to cooperate with Su Qianran and planned to meet Lao K before the college entrance examination.

News about Xi Siyan was occasionally heard from Qi Lin or Sun Xiaoya.

Most of their news comes from their respective families.

Because in the second-generation circle of Suicheng, there was a person who was far ahead of others. He became famous in the well-known financial circle abroad just after he became an adult and became a legend.

The name Xi Siyan seems to have become a synonym for something distant and unreachable.

It's amazing, yet it seems to be taken for granted.

He stands so high that most people can hardly catch up with him.

Chen Mo performed very well in the college entrance examination.

He got a high score of 149 in mathematics, which had caused him trouble in his previous life, and successfully entered the intelligent science and technology major at Q University.

Lao Gou is in the medical school of the neighboring school, which is just across the street from Q University.

Qi Lin, Jiang Xu and others were also recommended for admission to higher education in the second half of their senior year.

Time flies, and youth just passes by in a flash.

At the end of his youth, the only unexpected episode was that Yang Shule failed the college entrance examination and his results were unprecedentedly poor.

This rising star who was once featured on the education channel and followed by the Education Bureau has quietly fallen.

He fell and was covered in mud, looking very embarrassed.

If he had not been sent abroad by the Yang family overnight just after the exam, and had gone to the same country and city as Xi Siyan, Chen Mo would not have noticed this.

Although the circumstances are completely different, some things still coincide with those in the previous life unexpectedly.

For example, Xi Siyan eventually went abroad.

For example, it seemed that he and Yang Shule had no connection anymore, but because Yang Shule was also sent abroad, their names appeared together again.

Things like "Xi Shen travels across the ocean, Yang Shule travels thousands of miles to pursue love", "The sequel to the love, hate and hatred of childhood sweethearts", etc. When Lao Gou saw these things on the school forum, he was almost mad to death in Chen Mo's rented house.

Chen Mo is packing his luggage.

Prepare to report to school.

"Listen to these words." Lao Gou poked the phone screen hard and asked him, "Don't you have any reaction?"

Chen Mo sealed the carton and asked, "How should I react?"

Lao Gou was choked.

Soon, he said confidently, "It's the kind of momentum that says anyone can do it, but you, Yang Shule, can't. Isn't your relationship enough to put each other under your feet? You should be the kind of person who says, if I have slept with a man, even if I don't want him anymore, you, Yang Shule, are not worthy of standing with him! That kind of person."

Chen Mo was speechless: "Can you please stop being so vulgar? There is a fundamental difference between simply sleeping with someone and having slept with them."

Lao Gou: "...Your points are particularly unique, are you regretting it?"

"roll."

Lao Gou continued to himself, "It's a pity indeed. That's the body of Xi Shen. He might be the kind of tycoon that will run rampant overseas in the future. We'll have to bow and scrape to him when we see him again. I feel bad for you when I think about it."

Chen Mo was too lazy to cooperate with him anymore.

He knew that no one had been so foolish as to mention his relationship with Xi Siyan in front of him over the past year, but no one believed that they had really ended it peacefully.

In many people's speculation.

Either the couple were separated, or someone deserted them.

It seems that their ending must have some drama to conform to people's habitual thinking.

Chen Mo never explained.

I'm not going to explain.

"Are you really not going to admit it?" Lao Gou said unwillingly, "I have been itching to expose the fact that you two were together for a long time."

"Are you sick?" Chen Mo handed the tape to Lao Gou and asked him to help tear it off. As he stuck it on the cardboard box, he said, "Some people have orgasms on their own. Do I have to flush their brains one by one?"

Lao Gou turned over and sat up from a half-lying position.

"I'm just standing up for you, obviously..."

"Don't be so clear." Chen Mo interrupted, "You think I don't have enough to do, right?"

Shut up, Lao Gou.

After all, Chen Mo was admitted to Q University with the second place in the province and the first place in the school.

Since the day the results came out, his world has never been peaceful. The old man said he would hold a big graduation banquet for him, and the Zhou family gave Zhou Yaoqiong an ultimatum, asking her to personally bring Chen Mo back to the Zhou family for dinner, with the main purpose of a mother-son reconciliation.

Many major universities also extended olive branches to us.

Media interviews, etc.

This is why he was in a hurry to go to school early.

Chen Mo spent half a day sorting it out.

After living here for a year, Chen Mo's stuff is neither too much nor too little.

When he went out, he put the key under the plastic pot on the flower bed at the door.

The afternoon sun cast a diffuse orange-yellow light in the corridor, as if carrying the mark of some old times, lingering silently and sealed.

Lao Gou was waiting for him with his suitcase.

Question: "You have the key with you. Aren't you coming back?"

"Not going back." Chen Mo said slowly while looking at the door.

The house belongs to Xi Siyan.

Chen Mo put his precious youth, which he would never regret, and the parts related to Xi Siyan here.

Close the door and turn forward.
